BEFORE

Schedule session around 11 to 13 months age.

Think about a theme and colors you’d like to use.

View Backdrop Options HERE

Do a practice run at home with tiny cake or whipped cream so baby gets used to the idea.

Pick an outfit that matches your chosen theme and colors.

Size down! You don’t want clothing too big or baggy

Outfits will get messy so keep that in mind.

DURING

Please select your FAVORITE outfit first.

Children tap out, and you want to get your best shots. The best shots are sometimes in the first 15-20 minutes.

If you decide to bring your own cake:

The cost of the cake will not be deducted from the session fee should you choose to bring your own. Cakes with soft frosting is ideal. Fondant doesn’t smash well. Avoid frozen cakes and chocolate frosting. Small cakes 6” to 8” inches work best.

Bring a sippy cup and their favorite snacks.

Bracelets or any baby jewelry should be tight enough not to be able to be removed by the child.

AFTER

Your images will be delivered to you within 14 days

If you need them sooner you may purchase the expedited editing option. Email me for details.

Be sure to order prints and products after the session.

Enjoy the memories!
